The Friends of Scarborough Buy Local is meant to provide an avenue of membership for businesses that are based in Scarborough and owned by Scarborough residents which may be part of a larger organization. An example of this is a resident who owns a franchise. Along with this, and as to not dilute our core mission, we do have a couple of rules around these membership levels. Only 10% of our total membership is allowed to comprise of Friends of Scarborough Buy Local at any time. The board will vote on each Friend of Scarborough Buy Local application and approve them independently. If you pay but are not approved, we will refund you in full. Feel free to reach out to us at any time to see if you would qualify.
